Lyra wear proud smirk on her face. She missed people recognizing her, it was terrible living as someone fake for months. White lotus was the one to trust and she believed every member with her life. She eyed five mans in room, four who were already there when she come and Dervin. They were obviously from Earth Kingdome, their clothes and eyes were green and none of them was really tanned.
Leader from this group of people was the only one who come to himself when he saw her tattoo. Others were still shocked that princess Lyra was in front them, same princess Lyra which was turned into statue hundred years ago and dissapeared after long time. They stood up but none moved eyes from air bender in front them.
'I am lucky to be here, mister..' she bowed down to man and started and he didn't hestinate to answer. 'Jim, your highness. We are from Ba Sing Se as you can notice. Can we ask, what are you doing here? It's risky.'
'What is life without a little risk, Jim?' Lyra asked playfully, eyeing him carefully. 'My behavior is unique, but in city full of refugees? None really care.'
'But you don't act like refugee, your highness. You act like Dai Li.' Dervin, man who showed her this place replied but there was fear in his voice. Her look changed from proud smirk to questionable look, like she saw ghost behind him.
'Your voice doesn't have to shake, you know? I'm using bending only against enemies, and hopefully, you are not one of them.' It was hard to tell was she serious or it was joke but man just nodded his head. Lyra take that as sign to actually continue and answer on his question. Before she could speak one of mans in the back spoke.
'Until you go to fire nation you are safe, princess Lyra.' Smile cracked on Lyra's face. She was ready to tell White Lotus about her plan with Azula, they were only people of trust in war. When she finished long story about their deal who was faked up by Lyra's side, their eyes widened.
'It was unthoughtful move, your highness. What if they--' Jim started but Lyra cutted him. 'There would always be what if, Jim. This is my chance, and I'm planning to help with ending this war.'
'You are right, your highness. We can continue this conversation later, we must leave before Dai Li agents get out from Lake Laogai.' Man replied quickly as he realised what time it is. Lyra nodded, bowed down and turned around to leave, but all of them were already bowing to the ground. 'You have now two titles too, your highness. Princess of the Air Temples and Oldest of the White Lotus. It's honour meeting you.'
She turned around and smiled softly before speaking. 'Tell the others that I am back, but make sure to only White Lotus knows. Goodbye, friends.' her voice was softer then ever before, Lyra thought that it would never happen again. She faked deep voice so much that her real one stayed hidden and forgotten until now.
With that, Lyra left the cottage in the woods near lake and headed back to the worst city in the world.
___
With few days Lyra decide to write new letter to Azula. It was ridiculously fun for her to mess with Azula's mind, and again, deep down, Lyra was sure that they would be good friends if there was no war.
Letter seem serious, but whoever even stepped at Ba Sing Se would know how many lies were told in it. Somehow, Lyra earned Azula's trust. It was best thing which could happen in time of the war.
Lyra wanted to go in tea shop but meeting with waiter really wasn't her cup of tea. He was flirty and insecure, definetly not type of person she wanted to hang out with.
'Hi, I never seen you around here before.' kind voice behind Lyra spoke but she tried to ignore it. She wasn't in the mood for making friends, expecially not in Ba Sing Se. Earth Kingdome Capital never was her least favorite city in whole world.
'I am new.' Lyra replied shortly and continued walking, trying to get away from girl behind her. It wasn't fear or nervous feeling, she was just uncomfortable with making friends with random people she knew nothing about. Real friendships are the ones who start without planning.
'Welcome to Ba Sing Se. I'm Jin.'girl continued talking but Lyra didn't respond. She expected her to go away, but girl didn't give up easily. 'Do you want to go in tea shop? I love tea and going with new friend would be--' Jin was kind but Lyra stayed with her old opinion, which only become stronger when she mentioned spending time in really bad tea shop.
'No offence, but I'm not interested.' Lyra said harshly and hurried up, dissapearing from girl's sight at the corner. She headed towards one of lost streets, the ones where people never crossed. Lyra pulled out two hook swords from her robe and started practicing.
After hours of practicing, she sat down. It wasn't Lyra's ideal life, but at least she had protection, home and part of plan. Problem was, she still didn't know a lot of things. She never was in real war, altough she and Azulon always dreamed about it. Even now, after 100 years, thought of someone killing Azulon's son was hurtful to her. He was monster, so were his parents, but killing is never an option.
'I will find my inner peace now.' Lyra mumbled and sat down at the ground, ready to meditate. It was crucial for her bending to be connected with spirits, and her connections were strong. But in head, Lyra heard only one thing.
